Old time specimen. Single cubed crystal of Fluorite 29mm on edge. Contact break on underside and a few 'nibbles' to edges, but otherwise a great crystal exhibiting a deep green core at 45 degree angle to the outer cube, with pale purple corners. Fluoresces very strongly violet under LWUV as all the Weardale Fluorites do. Extremely reasonable price.

NOTE: AS OF MARCH 2007 THE MINES ARE NOW FLOODED. NEW SPECIMENS ARE UNLIKELY TO BE RETRIEVED FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE. The closed Ullcoats #1 Mine was at one time a seperate mine from the working Florence Mine at Egremont. It is believed that several of the tunnels between these mines are linked, which sometimes may pose a problem for exact location details of specimens.
